Wiped out my /blender cvs tree and updated. No Makefile so I ran ./bootstrap which used the autoconf stuff. Had to copy acinclude.m4 to the blender dir.

ran configure and make from a parallel dir (b.build) and I got a blender executable

entered the blender dir and did another configure/make and got the same.
Don't know which way is best. Both seem to work. I'm under the imperssion that they use different Makefiles or something.

Both still crash on any TEXT entry. Variable fakepos from ps.font.c runs away and segfaults trying to read the font stuff. Haven't figured out why yet, but I'm looking. At least I{'m trying to look. I have little experence chasing through large amounts of C and any pointers on how to go about it would be appreciated.

I haven't seen anybody else mention a crash on TEXT. Am I alone here?

The blender is truly an amazing peice of work. I would like to understand it better.
